Wellbeing: Looking Out
In this topic, children begin to use their understanding of emotions and look outwards to get a better understanding of other people’s thoughts and feelings as well as recognising their strengths and how to help. As part of learning about a growth mindset, children attempt different challenges and investigate different strategies for dealing with difficult situations and emotions.
